One
of
the
first
things
you
learn
working
in
IT
is
how
difficult
it
is
to
get
people
to
switch
from
one
vendor
or
IT
solution
to
another.
Perhaps
you
start
a
new
job,
at
a
new
company,
where
they're
struggling
with
a
technical
problem
you've
solved
in
the
past.

IBM
Software
is
choc-a-block
with
talented
bloggers
and
subject
matter
experts,
and
from
time
to
time
I
like
to
shine
the
spotlight
on
the
great
work
they're
doing
in
other
areas
of

When
it
comes
to
fitness
and
exercise,
a
little
motivation
goes
a
long
way.
That
motivation
can
come
in
many
different
forms
–
looking
in
the
mirror,
ridicule
from
friends,
preparing
for
a
big
race,
or
a
personal
fitness
coach.
Getting
off
your
butt
is
only
the
first
step

We
tend
to
look
at
government
tax
collection
agencies
as
bad
guys.
Sure,
they
“take”
our
hard-earned
money,
but
that
money
often
goes
to
fund
vital
public
service
programs.

IBM

Wednesday’s
launch
of
IBM
PureSystems
captured
a
lot
of
attention
from
the
folks
in
the
server
room,
but
it
was
a
busy
week
on
the

front
as

Here

Tell
me
if
this
sounds
familiar:
You're
pondering
whether
to
do
something
potentially
risky
--
perhaps
quit
a
job,
switch
to
a
completely
different
career
path
or
even
start
a
business.
You
have
many
motives
to
do
so,
yet
the
road
ahead
seems
very
unclear,
and
you're
uncomfortable
with
that.
